Infrastructure software Capabilities#

Collecting a Platform Report with system-info.sh#

system-info.sh is a diagnostic script for Intel Panther Lake systems provisioned using Infrastructure software. After provisioning, the script is available on the target system at /opt/edge/developer/tools/system-info/.

Summary of Tools#

Common tools: bash, lscpu, lsblk, ip, etc.
Optional tools for a more complete report: dmidecode, turbostat, intel_gpu_top, vulkaninfo, vainfo, clinfo, fwupdmgr
sudo recommended for full visibility (firmware, DMI, turbostat, dmesg)

Running the script#

cd /opt/edge/developer/tools/system-info
sudo ./system-info.sh

Save output to a file:

sudo ./system-info.sh > sys-info.txt 2>&1

Note

If Panther Lake is not detected (CPUID mismatch), the script still runs and reports what it finds. Some sections show “not installed” warnings when optional tools are missing.
